Quick answer

Rolling a 4 on a die: 1 in 6 = 16.7%. In 3 rolls, the chance of at least one 4 is 1 − (5/6)³ ≈ 42.1%.

How it works

Probability is favorable outcomes divided by total outcomes. For repeated independent attempts, the chance of at least one success is 1 − (1 − p)^n.

Formula

P = favorable ÷ total · P(at least once in n) = 1 − (1−p)ⁿ

Frequently asked questions

Does each attempt change the odds?

Only if outcomes aren't replaced (like drawing cards without putting them back). This calculator assumes independent attempts.
